MLB Umpire Pat Hoberg Fired Over Betting Account Sharing

The New York Mets&#8217; 2024 MVP took off when he shifted to the leadoff spot. Providing power and clutch hitting at the top of the order, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/francisco-lindor/58374">Francisco Lindor</a> led the team to a surprise postseason run all the way to the NLCS. 
The crown jewel of the MLB offseason, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/juan-soto/57770">Juan Soto</a>&#8216;s debut in Orange and Blue is as big as any in franchise history. If he plays up to his contract, Soto will be the best position player to suit up in Queens.
Welcome back! It was nip-and-tuck deep into free agency before slugger <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/peter-alonso/58372">Pete Alonso</a> signed on the dotted line to remain in the only uniform he&#8217;s known as a pro. His power righty bat provides some much-needed protection for Soto.
The biggest revelation for the 2024 Mets was the emergence of <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/mark-vientos/58378">Mark Vientos</a> as an everyday player and potentially a middle-of-the-order star. From spring training afterthought to postseason hero, Vientos is counted on for big things in 2025 and beyond.
The longest-tenured Met solidifies one of the best one-through-fives in Major League Baseball. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/brandon-nimmo/58382">Brandon Nimmo</a>, one of the most patient hitters in the game, has surprised many with his blossoming power in his 30s. 
With a lefty on the mound for the Astros, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/carlos-mendoza/83660">Carlos Mendoza</a> turns to veteran<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/starling-marte/58381"> Starling Marte</a> as the right-handed bat in New York&#8217;s DH platoon with <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/jesse-winker/58751">Jesse Winker</a>. Marte was better in 2024 than in 2023, but he&#8217;s no longer an everyday player and is better suited for a part-time role. 
Known more for his glove, David Stearns brought <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/jose-siri/57855">Jose Siri</a> to Citi Field to shore up the team&#8217;s outfield defense. His all-or-nothing, swing-for-the-fences approach will provide some pop but not much in batting average. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/tyrone-taylor/58385">Tyrone Taylor</a> also expects to see plenty of action in center. 
With starting catcher<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/francisco-alvarez/58369"> Francisco Alvarez</a> on the IL to start the season, Mendoza turns to <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/luis-torrens/60333">Luis Torrens</a> as his Opening Day backstop. The Mets acquired Torrens from the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/depth-chart/new-york-yankees-depth-chart">New York Yankees</a> last season to improve their catching depth.
Unless the Mets make a last-minute deal ahead of Opening Day, expect youngster <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/luisangel-acuna/58371">Luisangel Acuña</a> to be in tomorrow&#8217;s lineup against Houston. With veteran <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/jeff-mcneil/58376">Jeff McNeil</a> on the mend to start the season, Acuña and <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/mlb/players/brett-baty/58373">Brett Baty</a> are expected to hold down the fort at second base.
